AI Overview

In Sanskrit, the most common word for “gold” is “suvarna” (सुवर्ण), while the Vedic term for gold is “hiranya” (हिरण्य); other related terms include “kanaka” (कनक), “rukma” (रुक्म), and “hema” (हेम), which can all be considered different ways to refer to gold depending on the context.

• Suvarna (सुवर्ण): The most common and widely used term for gold in Sanskrit. 
• Kanaka (कनक): Another word for gold, sometimes used in reference to gold used in painting.
